I don't disagree, however, learning disabilities often run in families.  How can you read to your kids if you can't read? Many social problems are caused by inter-generational poverty and illiteracy.

I'm a 7th grade special education teacher. I work with kids who can't read.  Usually they are so frustrated they won't make much of an attempt to use their class time to learn. What would your guests say to these young people. How can I help motivate them to try to learn. Its tough during adolescence.
